“Here I Am”

Here I am,

Simply an unpredictable man,

So strong and unafraid, so quick and so brave,

Or so they say,

I think of this every day in many ways,

Counting down my lonesome days,

Dazed, tired, defeated

Every person I have spoken with retreated,

Apparently in conceded,

They have depleted the once needed treat indeed,

I only wish to meet someone so we can speak,

But this feeling, is no longer appealing,

The people whom I have held so close,

Are no longer mine to love or to boast,

Have a toast; the man they say was vain

Is no longer one contain,

I am no longer captivated by love…,

No longer the same…
